Nigeria’s President, Bola Tinubu, has reiterated that his administration would make bold and difficult decisions in the interest of the country.
Tinubu stated this in a keynote address at the 63rd Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) in Abuja. He said the government would undertake a holistic reform of the country’s justice system in a bid to eradicate poverty and promote investment in the country.
He revealed that world-class remuneration for legal professionals would sanitize the judiciary for a prosperous Nigeria and argued that Nigeria would only reclaim its place among the comity of nations if the government summoned the courage to make difficult changes.
He said the bold steps his administration was taking would find lasting solutions to the challenges confronting Nigeria would succeed with the cooperation and collaboration of all especially the private sector.
He said: “I am not cynical, I am factual, the critical and bold initiatives embarked upon will yield the desired results only with collaboration and cooperation of the private sector.
“We are so blessed and we are still lacking, a change of mindset is what we need.
“We accused our previous leaders and complained too much about the past. It is not the solution, we must look forward. God has given us creative minds and will.
“Can we continue to service external debts with 90 percent of our revenue? It is a path to destruction. It is not sustainable. We must make the very difficult changes that are necessary for our country to get up from slumber and be respected among the great nations of the world.”
He praised the NBA over the conference theme and urged the association to give his administration maximum support in order to succeed.
He added: “I want to learn. Remind me of what I’m doing right, I will continue, whatever I am doing wrong, tell me, and I will change.’’
